I'm clearly in a starting mood because I started another quilt this week. It's made of a Sunburst Slices jelly roll (Creative Cuts?) I picked up this summer in the States. I just loved the fun colours and patterns. It's so cheerful! Kinda reminds me of jelly bellies (not because I ate a whole bag of them recently or anything).

To make this puppy, I cut 6 - 2.5" equilateral triangles from each of the eight fabrics (the jelly roll had 3 strips of each fabric), using the HexNMore ruler (still loving it!). I sewed them together to make a strip and added a 2" strip of white on either side.

Since the jelly roll strips were busy prints, I added 2.5" white squares between each strip to give some contrast. Then I just sewed it like a regular jelly roll race.

Once I had my big panel, I squared it up. I sliced off a strip of 6" from one end, inserted the triangle strip and then added the 6" strip back on.

Jelly Belly - Backing

I took a 9" strip off the bottom of the panel and sliced it to form 3.5" and a 5.5" strips for the back. Added some white (Gasp! Two white background quilts in one week?! Can we say "missing snow"? :( ) to finish off the backing. I just have a few triangles left of the jelly roll, which I'm hoping to use in the binding. :)

Next up, some free motion quilting. I'm thinking large open feathers, like on Emma How's Green, Green, Green quilt.

Laura @ Quokka Quilts is hosting this week's TGIFF! party. I'm hosting next week so get those finishes ready! Think Jelly Belly will be done in time? We'll see...
